The House of Da Vinci

Overall I enjoyed this game - it definitely tickled my love of escape rooms.

That being said, the early game was far more fun than the later game. The puzzles didn't only increase in challenge (which is fine), they increased in obscurity as well. The early puzzles in the first few levels may have taken me some trial and error and serious thinking, but I got them eventually. Some of the later puzzles were so obscure I had to make extensive use of the hint system, and a couple of them I had to find guides elsewhere to help. Two of the puzzles in the last stage nearly had me rage-quitting even with hints.

Again, I did overall enjoy the game and would say it's worth playing if you like escape room style puzzle games, but The Room series was better IMHO. I don't know for certain if I'll play the rest of this series, while The Room had me hooked from the start and there was never any doubt I would play them all.

Fascinating. I definitely wasn't up to completing it by myself, but I loved doing what I could. A beautifully complex environment.

The game is similar to "The room". The first chapters were easy and intuitive to do. However, around half-way through the game, the puzzles got harder and ended up requiring a lot of help.
Nevertheless, I'd still recommend this game to whoever enjoys puzzle games!

The House of Da Vinci is a 3D puzzle game that reminded me of The Room series, though not as polished or intuitive. You play as Da Vinci's apprentice, standing before his locked mansion when a letter from him arrives, warning that his most important invention is at risk. Your goal is to enter the heavily secured mansion and help your master. Divided into eight chapters, each represents a room full of intricate mechanical puzzles. Along the way, you find letters from Da Vinci that reveal more about the story.
The puzzles are complex, though easier than in The Room, as they emphasize mechanical steps over purely logical solutions. You also have the Oculi Infinitum, a special tool that allows you to see inside mechanisms or view past events, which is useful for solving puzzles.
While you can’t move your character freely, you can zoom in on specific objects or parts of the room. However, not all areas rotate fully, and you may need to click multiple times on an object to interact with it, which can become frustrating. The controls feel imprecise, especially when using a mouse to pull levers or rotate mechanisms, as the game seems more suited for touchscreens.
The hint system, although helpful, has a cooldown and can only be activated every few minutes. On the plus side, the sound design and graphics are impressive, with beautifully designed environments and intricate machinery.

I've played all the parts of "The Room" and I already had a certain attitude towards such games. I didn't expect much, though.
Some of the puzzles are easy and some are difficult, but the implementation is really well done, I also like the DaVinci setting. Many things are similar to "The Room", most of the time I wondered if they weren't the same developers, crazy.
The camera controls are OK, but sometimes you click around like a madman to find that one pixel that lets you move on, but all in all a good puzzle game.

The House of Da Vinci - is an absolute gem for puzzle enthusiasts!
The gameplay is incredibly immersive, drawing you into a beautifully crafted Renaissance world filled with intricate mechanisms and clever puzzles. The challenges are well-designed, requiring a mix of logic, observation, and creativity, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging.
The graphics are stunning, with detailed environments that bring Leonardo da Vinci's inventions to life in a visually captivating way.
If you love The Room series or brain-teasers set in a richly detailed historical setting, this game is a must-play!
Highly recommend this gem!

It was good but some of the puzzles were a bit unclear at times.
